Show HN: AstrMap – Unix Philosophy for the AI Era (Ditch the RAG) (github.com)
Hey HN, I got incredibly tired of RAG for code. Vectorizing source code into arbitrary chunks and hoping a cosine-similarity search finds the right structural context is a black box that just doesn&#x27;t reliably work for agentic coding. It&#x27;s anti-KISS.<p>So I wrote AstrMap in Go.<p>It rips th...

I made a generative art system that generates random expressions made of functions (sin, exp, mod, etc.), variables x&#x2F;y and p&#x2F;q (polar coordinates), and constants you can set and animate. The outputs are highly variable.<p>You can press P to animate all constants at the same time and N to ...
